I apparently understand much more than you. But at least you knew enough to call yourself a Sham.

But I in fact know that wages are rising in the US. In fact know that in a dynamic economy old factory jobs tend to go the way of the whale oil sales man and the buggy whip manufacturer. Too bad you don't.

You repeat the stock nonsense of the free trade types.

Are you dimly aware of the fact that wages for non-supervisory employees are most definitely NOT going up and in fact adjusted for inflation they are dropping ? That's the wages of all those Americans who DON'T live off of returns on investment and corporate profits.

Free trade and cheap labor is wonderful for Americans whose income comes from investments and corporate profits. It is lousy for Americans whose income comes from paychecks.

You repeat (and repeat is too kind a term) the stock garbage about "buggy whip makers" as if this were "creative destruction". It isn't. The destruction is of the American laborer, the creation is of the Third World laborer because on cost of labor the American regular Joe has no hope of competing.
